Beans in chili??? Faugh!

Presentation 101: A course first offered at the P.T.Barnum Culinary Institute.

Well, they do say you eat with your eyes first.

Don’t blame you, Apple or Blueberry pancakes, ok, beyond that though, just not right. Incidentally I looked up onion pancakes on the web. While there are some recipes for onion pancakes, they are for traditional Chinese ones, made from dough, not batter. As far as the american variety, NO recipes listed for such. That should give your niece a clue, it’s just not done.

Yeah, but, how did Adam’s TASTE????

Remind you of Megamind anyone?

Is this why you did not win?

Pancakes are one thing, but I draw the line at putting peaches, blueberries, apples, or any other fruit in chili…

We used to cook a slice of bacon in our pancakes when I was a child. It goes great with maple syrup!…but I agree, the very THOUGHT of onion pancakes makes me shudder.

If it has beans in it, it isn’t chili. Taco soup, or stew, maybe, but not chili.

I wasn’t being creative when I first made Japanese cabbage pancakes; I got a cabbage head at a food pantry and looked online for recipes using cooked cabbage. Japanese cabbage pancakes were one of those I found; “unstuffed cabbage” was another. I liked both of them well enough to make them again.
